Okay, I haven't given up on you my friendly X-readers and fellow True Believers. I've just been trying to pass a math class. Anyway, I'm back for a little while and in the summer there will be a crazy amount of updates because i lack a life. Anyway, I'm still doing my Halloween thing and the big present I promised will be sometime around Easter.

"Okay, now all we need to do is keep them entertained, fed and happy. Got it?" Talia asked.

"You make it sound so easy..." I rolled my eyes.

"It's not that hard. And strong mental shields everybody. Cypher can really get to you sometimes." Talia explained.

"Cypher?" Tobias asked.

"His mutant power is to make you forget and 'remember' things. Comes in handy in a battle if the villans can't remeber who they're fighting or why." Talia explained.

"Lovely." Cal was leaning against the door frame, eager to get this done and over.

"Oh, and don't provoke Huntress. She's still a bit feral sometimes and the other munchkins defend her like geese." Talia said.

"Geese?" we all asked confused.

"They protect the ones that get sick on the migration by staying with them to keep away predators." Talia explained.

"Okay, so what do we do now?" I asked.

"I have food in the form of chips and as much as I hate to do it, pop and other sugary stuff. First though, we're going to take them trick or treating."

"How do we do that if we're grounded?" Tobias asked.

"Easy." Talia replied and she explained her plan to us.

"Yay! Twick owr tweating!" Gaea exclaimed.

"Yup! And we're going to take you guys upstairs to torment the adults." Talia said. Lots of giggling was done by everyone.

We dressed them in their costumes. Gaea was Cinderella, Cypher was dressed as what could only have been Hugh Heffner, Huntress was an amazon queen of some sort and Plasma was dressed as Talia because it was the only thing that went with her uniform. Speaking of Plasma, she's albino and so is constantly covered because the slightest bit of light burns her skin.

"Everybody ready?" I asked. They nodded, grins on their faces. "Okay, pick a partner and we're off!"

Okay, I know. Short for an update but I'm working on a new story, which is really a continuation of this one, and this has four more chapters or so.
